On the first day of school, Izumiko starts to see black figures around campus. It becomes apparent that Izumiko and Miyuki they aren't the only students with special powers. While some seem to be friends, others have taken a more aggressive stance.

After losing Tabi, Manatsu decides that it is time to leave Mayura and become one with Masumi. He thinks that it would be easier on Mayura if they both left her now, before she grows too attached to them.

The battle between Mayura and Takayanagi is starting to get intense. As Mayura's trump card, Izumiko needs to exercise caution, but she's entering a rebellious stage. What will happen when she dresses up like a princess and unbraids her hair...
